Definitely Worth The Money —
The truck has a 2.5L, 4 cylinder engine, 170 estimated horsepower. The Truck his quality built. Silver is the color of my truck, I think it looks good. Fuel is a pain in the ass but its very good for a truck. Its a fun, very reliable truck.

Pros

Great styling and performance.

Cons

Fuel economy is not the greatest.

The Best Truck I've Ever Owned! —
I've had various vehicles/trucks throughout the years and I love my Nissan Frontier. This is one of the toughest trucks I've ever owned. I take it off-road every other weekend and it really takes a beating. The 4.0L V6 has plenty of power (265hp), but I'm still looking to add some additional horsepower (if you know what I mean).
If you're in the market for a truck - check this one out!

Pros

Overall, this has been a GREAT truck. Comfortable to drive across town or across the country without giving up the substantial "feel" of driving a truck. Very reliable and dependable with little more than just routine maintenance ! Positive handling on dry roads and winter weather.

Cons

Nothing that I have experienced. I have owned this truck since May 2005 and have nothing but the best to say about it.

Awesome Truck ! —
Nissan made all the right choices when they redesigned the Frontier for 2005 ... Comfort, Styling, Performance, Power and Reliability are all included. Read my "Pros" and "Cons" for my honest opinions about the quality, performance and reliability of this vehicle.

Pros

Cons

Only complaint is I wish ex-cab was a little larger.

Sporty Midsized Truck That Is A Lot Of Fun To Drive. —
My only complaint is that I had more room in the king cab, but really it's a non-issue so long as you know there is pleanty of room for the driver and passenger. Lots of HP for a midsized truck. Hauls everything and then some. Reliable, well built, handles great, and feels solid on the road.

Pros

Roomy

Cons

Could use more power (but what car cannot)

Nissan Frontier 4x4 —
Drives the best of all the mid-sized pickups I tested. This drives more like a decent car than a truck. I have the six speed and it is great fun to drive especially when the tachometer crosses 3-grand. It also has the most room inside of all the mid size pickups, without the cost and size of a full size.

Pros

Everything about the truck is positive.

Cons

None at all

Awsome Truck!! —
One of the very best trucks I have ever owned. The ride is great, interior is extremely roomy and the haul load is awsome. I can hook up to almost anything I want to and not worry about not enough power to pull it. Goes great in the mud too.

Pros

great acceleration and handling, no blind spots

Cons

potentially costly repairs

Pros

Cons

Yota Slayer —
This truck is very well built, it has excellent power much more than any stock tacoma or ranger. It drives like a dream and has never given any trouble what so ever however, it only gets 17 mpg and has a horrible turning radius.

Pros

Gets 25 miles to the gallon

Cons

The cab is a little small in the back (duh)

Amazing —
The Frontier is my favorite car. The it is foreign and a little more expensive to fix the engine ins nearly brand new. Also it is a Nissan so if you shot the engine with a shot un it will still run. It is perfect for anything you might need. It is a four cylinder so it isn't great for pulling trailers but if you want to pull trailers don't get a Frontier.

Love It. By Michael

I loved it overall. The seats are manual, and the back seat is kinda small, and the moonroof sucks. But the rest of the truck is amazing. I love it to death, and I can't wait to upgrade it some more
